Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The solubility was determined at laboratory temperatures by use of screw-cap test tubes. The (1) phase floated on top of the water and insured saturation of the (2) phase in two to four days. Analyses were carried out by GLC using a Hewlett-Packard model 5751 gas chromatograph with dual-flame ionization detectors. Many details are given in the paper.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Phillips Petroleum Company; Chemical Samples Company or Aldrich Chemical Company; 99+%.
- Distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: ±1°C
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): ±1.2 mg(1)/kg(2)
Components:
- iso-Propylbenzene, $\ce{ C9H12 }$; [98-82-8] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
The solubility of cumene in water at 25°C and at system pressure was reported to be 48.3 mg(1)/kg(2). The corresponding mass percent and mole fraction, x1, calculated by the compiler are 0.00483 g(1)/100 g sln and 7.23 × 10-6.
